Aloha! I am Ellie Knopf and I have been living on Kauai with my husband and four children since moving from Palo Alto, CA in 1998. I left my life as a registered nurse/property manager and returned to the islands of my grandfather, Eric Laysan-Schlemmer of Laysan Island to be a part of the hospitality and tourism industry here on Kauai.
I would be honored to have you folks as my guests and share my home and knowledge of beautiful Kauai with you.
During these busy and transitional times, it’s so wonderful to relax and enjoy quality time with our families. Come to Ellie’s Koloa House and experience 3 generations of Aloha.
Mahalo~
See you soon! Ellie

Close buy is the shopping center where you can pick up a hula …

We loved the studio.
It allowed us to be near the Poipu beach without being in the middle of the resorts/hotels/developments.
The studio is very clean, very comfortable, very welcoming and very well cared for.
Ellie and her family are attentive home owners. They are available and helpful, but also very considerate and non intrusive.
The studio is quite spacious and for two people it is …
